Kimco Realty Corp. (NYSE:KIM) today announced that its subsidiary Kimco Realty OP, LLC ("Kimco OP") has closed on a new $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility with commitments from 20 lending institutions, replacing the company's existing $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. The new facility, expandable to $2.75 billion under an accordion feature, is scheduled to mature on March 17, 2027 (or March 17, 2028, if Kimco OP exercises two six-month options to extend the maturity date).

"Our new credit facility highlights the strength of Kimco's balance sheet given the robust demand and favorable terms we've been able to achieve," said Glenn G. Cohen, Kimco executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer. "We are grateful to our lending partners ongoing support and loyalty as the new credit facility was oversubscribed with commitments totaling $3.3 billion. We believe that the additional financial flexibility well positions us to execute on our long-term strategic goals and further enhance shareholder value."

Interest on borrowings under the Credit Agreement accrues at a spread (currently 0.775%) to Adjusted Term SOFR or, at the company's option, a spread (currently 0%) to the base rate defined in the Credit Agreement, that in each case fluctuates in accordance with changes in Kimco's senior debt ratings. The Credit Agreement also incorporates sustainability-linked adjustments to the interest rate, unused commitment fees and letter of credit fees. The applicable margin is subject to upward or downward adjustments on an annual basis if the company achieves, or fails to achieve, certain specified targets based on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission standards as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
